Gulf Kanawut shared that back when he was in primary school, he tried to help his crush by opening a folder, but he ended up messing with it that's why he ran away. He further added that he may not believe in "love at first sight" because of his past experiences, yet he made sure that he doesn't easily get jealous because according to him "it will feel your partner uncomfortable."

Currently, he's working on the upcoming series "You are my makeup artist." He said he personally need to learn how to do makeup for this project and spilled that someday, if he was given a chance, he want to do the makeup for Joker as he likes Joker very much.

A series of games were played during the fan meet, from answering questions from the fans, he even played football challenge. He said he is a very competitive person especially when he plays football.

Aside from the fun and sweet moments, three lucky fans from Paranaque City, Iligan, and Japan got a signed polaroid photo and flowers. They even had a chance to take a picture with Gulf after winning a game.

Gulf continued to serenade his fans with songs that he said are his personal favorites. He also sang "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber—which he also did the last time he was in the Philippines last 2019.

He also thanked everyone and said he's looking forward to come back here in the Philippines.
